June 4, 2035. The game, Sword Art Online, was confiscated by the government. For years, they wanted to use it for 'Justice'. September 26, 2040. They decided to use it to prisoners and made a deal: If they manage to clear the game, they will be freed. Certain conditions are needed to be met in order for them to escape:
#1: They should never kill another player.
#2: Their play time can only be up to seven years.
#3: The age where they can be released is below 30.
Those conditions are needed to be met in order to be released. But of course, that is only the reason they give to the media. Because of the decreasing budgets in prisons and more criminals are sent, they have to decrease the population of people there. To add more fun in this game, prisoners that are in death penalty or others who simply have too much time are given the roles to be villains. Of course, it is only if they want it. Their identities are not known to other players or to other villains, unless they told it to someone. The people in government who used SAO are called 'Reapers'. Prisoners that wants to be released are called 'Challengers'. Those who are the villains are, well, called 'Survivors'.
Side-notes:
*The game is connected to the outside world and other people also are playing the game, ignorant of who are the Challengers and the Survivors. Though the difference in the outside world is that they are revived when their characters in the virtual world dies while the players in prison dies whenever their characters dies.
*Since the last incident, only a few people are playing that game. 1/5 of the world population.
*When I said confiscated, they confiscated the real game not caring for duplication.
*There are 100 floors and you can't proceed if you haven't defeated the boss of that level.
_________________________________________________
Rules:
-> No godmodding
-> You can be a hero for all I care. Just don't over-exaggerate the way you rescue using your abilities.
-> The lowest level of your character is 20. The maximum level for the Challengers is 50 while the Survivors have the maximum of 60. But they can still level up depending on how you post everyday. You should ask first before leveling up.
-> I'm not against in replies that are short but I'll really appreciate it if you post more than two sentences.
-> Stick with your given skills.
-> Hmmm... I guess I can let you control other people's characters as long as you have the other party's PERMISSION and either of us (me or Kooru) should be INFORMED before posting using other people's characters.
-> 3 is the maximum for characters. We will be acting as the 'Reapers' and us ONLY since the plot is all about in the Virtual World. Though we may have to use those Reapers in order to stop some characters if they are going too far.
-> It would be better if you can post the picture of the enemy that you are going to fight. Also, I encourage you to name the place you are in. You can create the name and picture of the place as long as they match.

In a lit room, each prisoners are blindfolded. Not a single sound escaped from their mouth. As each prisoners are put on a NerveGear on their heads, they are told once again. "For all of the prisoners here, you only have seven years. A few contenders are already ahead of you and their time are also counted. It is now up to you players to survive this game. May you succeed and gain freedom" the government people says as each are transferred to the virtual world, Aincrad. First-time players had trouble and almost half of them were wiped out. A few years later...
Sigma walks around the town square. She had just leveled up to level 26 and almost lost her life in the previous battle. Having such low level, she is being depressed at how slow her pace is going. She decides to go to the monster zone and earn more levels after regenerating.
Raim is currently fighting at the level 24 floor which is the highest for now. Doing things again and again like a robot, she felt lifeless. She is waiting for other Challengers or players to finish of the level. After all, Reapers can't just have all of the attention focused to them.

Zephyr lays on his stomach across a branch of a dying dying tree in Black Wood lvl 13, his normal hang out. his piercing red eyes staring out into the dimly landscape contemplating why a raven is like a writing desk.
